+When you encounter any GNU/Hurd related bugs in a Debian package you can fix, please use the Debian BTS (Bug Tracking System) to report them.
+
+Managing Debian packages and using the BTS is quite simple. If you're new to Debian, here's a short guide:
+
+* first of all, check [http://bugs.debian.org/&lt;package&gt;](http://bugs.debian.org) to ensure the problem is not in the BTS already. This is possible for packages and bug numbers. [[TWiki/InterWikis]] is a shorthand way of linking to bugs and packages from this site. i.e. [[DebianBug]]:hurd [[DebianPackage]]:oskit
+* you can fetch package sources with:
+
+          apt-get source <package>
+
+note: this should unpack already
+
+* and unpack with:
+
+          dpkg-source -x <package>x-y_z.dsc
+
+* then get all dependencies:
+
+          apt-get -y build-dep <package>
+
+note: if some dependencies are missing, it most probably means you have to port them first. follow this instructions recursively until done
+
+    :)
+
+* Debian packages have a makefile in debian/rules, with (at least) the following targets: <dl>
+  <dt> build</dt>
+  <dd> Yup, to build </dd>
+  <dt> binary</dt>
+  <dd> Generates deb files in <code>../</code></dd>
+  <dt> clean</dt>
+  <dd> Full clean </dd>
+</dl>
+
+* when you have a patch, send it to the BTS using the reportbug utility (or manually as explained in <http://bugs.debian.org/)>. The following parameters should be used:
+
+       Severity: important   (when the package is unbuildable or uninstallable, lower otherwise.)
+       Tags: sid, patch
+
+* be nice to the maintainers. most are friendly and cooperative, and a few could annoy you for months before applying. Be patient.
+
+Read <http://bugs.debian.org/> for extensive documentation on the BTS.
